The force has ensured technical supplies for a wide range of missions, including training, combat readiness, disaster prevention and response, search and rescue operations, construction of defense projects, clearance of unexploded ordnance, maintenance of Phong Chau pontoon bridge, and participation in post-earthquake recovery efforts in Myanmar. Additionally, preparations are underway for the deployment of the Engineering Company Rotation 4 to replace the Engineering Company Rotation 3 in the United Nations Interim Security Force for Abyei (UNISFA) mission.
The corps has maintained tight control over the quality of its weaponry and equipment, ensuring safe, accurate, and timely reception, distribution, transfer, and reallocation of technical materials in accordance with orders and regulations.

In terms of digital transformation, the Engineering Corps has made significant and practical progress. IT devices with secure military network (TSLqs) connections have been deployed to most workplaces across its offices and units. The digital signature program has been actively implemented. The corps has directed logistics and technical sectors to adopt and efficiently operate the Ministry of National Defense-approved software, and has independently developed six additional applications to support its digital transformation efforts. All non-confidential documents are now processed through digital document management systems.
Concluding the working session, General Vinh lauded the Engineering Corps for the obtained achievements and encouraged the force to continue to focus on technical work, especially effectively implementing the “Manage and exploit weapons and equipment well, sustainably, safely, economically, and ensure traffic safety” campaign. The force must ensure the timely and adequate provision of technical equipment in both quantity and quality. Equipment reception and distribution must follow strict protocols, while the quality of maintenance and preservation must be improved, particularly for engineering vehicles, new weapons, and equipment.

In addition, the corps should pro-actively and actively engage in the “Digital literacy for all” movement to suit the unique circumstances and tasks of the force. Efforts must be made to enhance IT application capacity to support command, management, and operations, effectively implement digital ecosystems in the logistics and technical sectors, promote research and innovation, develop initiatives and solutions for digital transformation, expand the military computer network system at all levels, and accelerate the use of shared applications within the ministry. Additionally, greater attention should be paid to developing human resources for IT and digital transformation.
